Frequently Asked Questions
What is Diamondeau®?
Diamondeau® is our exclusive created substitute for a natural mined diamond. Diamondeau® is produced from zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) in a laboratory passing through many scientific procedures to produce the gorgeous simulated diamond we bring you. The finished Diamondeau® is clear in color and clarity, unlike most mined diamonds which would contain inclusions. The physical characteristics of Diamondeau®, such as hardness of 8 on the MOH's scale, a refractive index (brilliance) of 2.17, a higher dispersion (fire) than diamond of 0.066 all make it durable, inexpensive and indistinguishable from a mined diamond with the naked eye.
Why Is There A Price Difference In My Country?
When pricing our products for international markets, we take into account a number of factors such as shipping costs, taxes, import duties, and currency exchange rates. These variables can differ significantly from country to country and can result in higher prices compared to our domestic offerings.
Additionally, we strive to provide the same level of quality and service to our international customers as we do to our domestic ones. This can also impact the price difference, as we may need to incur additional costs to ensure that our products meet local regulations or standards.
Please rest assured that we constantly review our pricing strategy and do our best to provide our customers with the best possible value for their money.
